Keeping herpes infection in check: Pitt researchers describe immune system strategies
Herpes simplex virus type I can cause bouts of cold sores, blindness and potentially lethal encephalitis when it reawakens from a quiescent state in the nerve cells it infects. view more (2008-10-10)
How HIV cripples immune cells
In order to be able to ward off disease pathogens, immune cells must be mobile and be able to establish contact with each other. The working group around Professor Dr. Oliver Fackler in the Virology Department of the Hygiene Institute of the Heidelberg University Hospital has discovered a mechanism in an animal model revealing how HIV, the AIDS... view more...

Study reveals how a common virus eludes the immune system
Viruses have numerous tricks for dodging the immune system. In the September 7, 2009 issue of the Journal of Cell Biology, Stagg et al. reveal a key detail in one of these stratagems, identifying a protein that enables cyto¬megalovirus to shut down an antiviral defense (online August 31). view more (2009-08-31)
Towards rational vaccine design
A recent study published in Immunology Letters, the official journal of the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS), describes strategies for selective priming of B cells using various adjuvants. view more (2007-04-25)
UBC researchers identify key behavior of immune response to Listeria
A team of University of British Columbia microbiologists has identified a key defence mechanism used by the immune system against Listeria with strong implications for the future development of vaccines. view more (2009-10-06)
Discovery points to more effective ways of regulating cell signalling
A discovery made at The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute provides new insights into enhancing the function of the protein SOCS3, which regulates the response of cells to external stimuli. view more (2006-04-21)
Live From The Lymph Node
Scientists at the German Research Centre for Biotechnology (GBF) in Braunschweig have successfully filmed individual cells migrating within a functioning lymph node. "We are the first in Europe to have taken such pictures," explains GBF researcher Dr. Matthias Gunzer. The new findings gleaned from observing immune cells in action in a living... view more...

Chemical found in curry may help immune system clear amyloid plaques found in Alzheimer's disease
UCLA/VA researchers found that curcumin - a chemical found in curry and turmeric - may help the immune system clear the brain of amyloid beta, which form the plaques found in Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-10-04)
Immunotherapy for Cancer: Inflammations Open up Access to Tumours
Although the immune system potentially recognizes tumour cells as foreign and destroys them, vaccination therapies have so far been disappointing. Malignant tumours seem to establish a special environment that blocks access for immune cells. However, an experimentally induced inflammation can overcome the tumour's intrinsic resistance for... view more... (2004-05-13)
Source of crucial immune cell in the skin discovered
Identification of precursor cell may lead to tumor immunotherapy as well as new treatment for rare disorder. view more (2006-01-30)
A Novel Strategy for Combating Aids-Related Fungal Infections
Research at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology has identified Dectin-1 as the beta-glucan receptor on immune cells. This finding may be of use in the prophylactic prevention of a variety of infections, especially in surgical patients, and in the treatment of cancer. The identification of Dectin-1 as the beta-glucan receptor may also provide... view more... (2004-10-08)
Residual fetal cells in women may provide protection against breast cancer
Fetal cells that persist in a woman's body long after pregnancy - a common occurrence known in scientific circles as fetal microchimerism - in some cases may reduce the woman's risk of breast cancer. view more (2007-10-01)
T cell immunity enhanced by timing of interleukin-7 therapy
That the cell nurturing growth factor interleukin-7 can help ramp up the ability of the immune system to remember the pathogenic villains it encounters is well known. view more (2008-02-04)
Louse infestation calibrates immune system regulation
Some parasites can exert a moderating effect on the immune system, perhaps reducing the risk of developing immune dysfunctions like asthma, allergies and some forms of arthritis. view more (2009-04-22)
Brain Structure Assists in Immune Response, According to Penn Vet Study
For the first time, a team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine have imaged in real time the body's immune response to a parasitic infection in the brain. view more (2009-01-29)
Tulane pioneers novel ovarian cancer treatment
The Tulane University Section of Hematology and Medical Oncology is investigating a novel treatment for ovarian cancer by using intravenous Ontak to deplete harmful cells that inhibit the body's natural immune response to fight cancer. Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cancer killer of women in the United States. view more (2005-07-18)
Scans show immune cells intercepting parasites
Researchers may have identified one of the body's earliest responses to a group of parasites that causes illness in developing nations. view more (2008-12-11)
A functional immune system can be derived from embryonic stem cells, preliminary study finds
A new study demonstrates for the first time that embryonic stem cells can be used to create functional immune system blood cells, a finding which is an important step in the utilization of embryonic stem cells as an alternative source of cells for bone marrow transplantation. view more (2008-02-13)
Immunologists identify biochemical signals that help immune cells remember how to fight infection
Immunology researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered how two biochemical signals play unique roles in promoting the development of a group of immune cells employed as tactical assassins. view more (2009-05-29)
New Synthetic Molecules Trigger Immune Response to HIV and Prostate Cancer
Researchers at Yale University have developed synthetic molecules capable of enhancing the body's immune response to HIV and HIV-infected cells, as well as to prostate cancer cells. Their findings, published online in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, could lead to novel therapeutic approaches for these diseases. view more (2009-11-06)
